The West Ham Thread

[EFCPaul]

Just watched it in full. No smoking gun in there tbh, just a lot of stories from women depicting him as a vile creep. Not exactly a shocking description of him. Tony Livesey as well is adamantly denying the accusations against him and he's worked for the BBC in a high-profile job for years.

He's looking to sell up his shares in West Ham now according to the Athletic. He'll get himself a bag and get gone. Good riddance to a horrible old pervert but I seriously doubt he'll ever face criminal charges.

TBF that looked like it had been edited down from a much larger and presumably more damaging piece - they said eight women, but only three were shown and only one of them alleged an assault actually took place (the other two were asked to provide sexual favours in exchange for work or profile). They also spent a lot of time on that "countdown to turning sixteen" thing without it ever really going anywhere in the documentary, they didnt even mention anyone who was a part of it only the moral issues (which as the fat bloke said it was not seen as overly immoral when they did it).

In short there wasnt anything that wasnt known about him already, so the fact he resigned makes me think someone (lawyers probably) cut it down.

Think it was supposed to be aired last week, but was “delayed” until tonight. I imagine Sullivan’s expensive lawyers have been on the blower all week to the BBC. Hence a heavily edited and most likely watered down programme.
